How the machine sees this site

  • Not in the top million domains. No big engine has ranked it for anything.
  • A feed. Readers can follow the site without a platform in between.
  • Built with a static generator. The pages are files, written once.
  • No trackers. Nobody is counting the readers.

Why search does not surface this site, and why that is the machine's problem.

Hearts show once a writer reaches three. No account, no cookie.

Every figure on this page was measured from the site itself and says where it came from. Nothing is quoted from the writing and nothing is written by a model. Something wrong? One email corrects it: hello@longhandalmanac.com. Want out of the index? Same address, or two lines in your robots.txt (how), and this page is gone the next morning.
